Note: Leo is mistaken. It was a leaf hopper katydid exploring my computer. Insect identification has never been one of Leo’s (or my) strengths.

(smiles and laughs) A great post!! Your kitty is so beautiful!!
Thanks, John! Leo is my daughter’s kitty, and he is a beautiful and very loving kitty.
Tiny little leaf hopper! Love Leo! Wonderful pics.
Thanks, Susan! I don’t think you have ever met Leo. He’s big, lovable and quite a character — like a yellow version of Guildenstern.
No, I have not met him! I’m looking forward to it. I guess I thought he was Tristan’s.
He is Tristan’s kitty. That’s why I was thinking you hadn’t had the chance to meet him.
Thanks for the clarification!
Beautiful kitty! And some awesome fangs! Was the bug body slightly flattened? Looks more Katydid than Leafhopper.

It was really tiny. It looked to me like a leafhopper, but it if it would have told me katydid-it I would have believed it;)
By the website it looks like a Katydid. It looks like neither Leo or I are up on our bugs.
You’re lucky Leo gave you a chance to photograph the little fellow. Our cats, especially Abby, like to ingest our bug guests… For a one-eyed cat, she is the best fly-catcher.
Crickets give me the creeps, so I’m glad Leo was wrong, even though it’s not my cable it’s walking on.
We get plenty of crickets, as well. Thanks!
Just wondering… did the little one got away safely…?? 😉
Yes it did. After exploring the computer cables in made its way to a plant.
Lovely Leo warns you 🙂 Lovely cat, and amazing photographs, Thank you, Blessing and Happiness to you ALL, love, nia
Thanks, Nia!
Got to give Leo credit for tenacity…one of the traits I like about “cats”!
Love the photo with the wide open mouth 🙂
Thanks!
Yes, that is a katydid. And Leo is so cute! I love him. He cuddles like a people and loves everyone all the time. :3
OK!
